Wondered who would get that! Thinking W&B to Whomever. Obviously reground from a wedge. Should make a great shaver.

Subsequent regrinding erased that. More than a hundred years ago!
I did a bit of research and found a translation of the the stamp, it says... in cantonese ..." engine46 please stop buying up all the good stuff, you are causing much angst and jealousy amongst others ! "
Engine, you've got bad RAD, when are you opening your straight razor museum ?
Buy what you like. It's OK! Really! :D Neat razor! :D
Thats right ! At least we know they have a loving home where they are kept warm and fed daily.Quote:
